Confirmatory Test for Acid
Radicals
Preparation of water
extract:-
A little amount of salt is
dissolved in 10ml of water

1. Copper turnings Test: Reddish Brown fumes Confirms the presence of
To a pinch of salt, add is Evolved nitrate
Copper turning conc. H2SO4
and heat it
2. Brown Ring Test:
Equal amount of salt solution Brown ring is formed Confirms the presence of
& at junction of two nitrate
freshly prepared ferrous layers.
sulphate solution is taken in
test tube
and conc H2SO4 is added in
drops along the sides
Group separation:-
Preparation of original salt
solution:
The original solution is
prepared by
Dissolving a gram of
substance in 10-15ml of
distilled water
To a few drop of original No precipitate is Absence of Zero group
1. solution add Nessler's formed
reagent.
